Hi there, I use the Lyx pdflatex option to produce a PDF of my thesis-in-progress. When I view the PDF in Linux (I'm using standard FC4 packages, evince 4.0.0 is the PDF viewer) the characters in the (standard) font looks slightly bunched up. When I view the same PDF in Windows (Acrobat 4.0) the fonts look OK at high levels of zoom, but at normal two-pages-on-a screen zoom, the fonts are almost illegible. And when I print out the document from Windows, the fonts look rather jagged.
I've got PDFs from other Linux / Latex users which have fonts that look fine. This seems to be a very common problem with PDFs produced on Linux which are then used by Windows people. Is there a known solution? I've tried to find information on this but haven't seen anything relevant. I can send screenshots if you need.
